Links with /

If I type http://localhost/some_directory/ I'm loading the indexfile for "some_directory".
But if I type http://localhost/some_directory (no ending / ) the page cannont be displayed.
How do I change this? So links dont need the ending /

this is an excerpt from the Apache FAQ that you can alwasy access at : http://httpd.apache.org/docs/misc/FAQ.html

"When you access a directory without a trailing "/", Apache needs to send what is called a redirect to the client to tell it to add the trailing slash. If it did not do so, relative URLs would not work properly. When it sends the redirect, it needs to know the name of the server so that it can include it in the redirect. There are two ways for Apache to find this out; either it can guess, or you can tell it. If your DNS is configured correctly, it can normally guess without any problems. If it is not, however, then you need to tell it.

Add a ServerName directive to the config file to tell it what the domain name of the server is."

I got an Ip-address, but no domain-name.
Could it be the reason, that I can't set it up?

thanx for reply

if you only using this server locally then you can set a name for it in your /etc/hosts file and then specify this name in your ServerName directive.

If your server is globally accessible then register it in DNS ...

Okay, thanks!
